Trading Solos: Jazz Standards Vol. 1

In Frank Vignola’s Jazz Standard edition of Trading Solos, you’ll trade solos with Frank over five popular jazz standard progressions, in a variety of keys and feels. Frank kicks off the course sharing some of his tone tips to help you get a great jazz sound. And then for each of the five progressions, Frank will show you a collection of jazz phrases and comping approaches. You’ll then take turns applying those ideas, trading solos, and comping for each other over all of the tracks.  

”The best way to get become a better player is to play with others! That's where the real learning happens, but for many folks, finding good players to play with can be a challenge. But that’s not the case here… I have a great bassist and drummer for us to jam with because it's important to play with solid rhythm sections that really groove. I’ll share a few of my favorite licks on these jazz standard chord progressions with a solid palette of voicings, grooving comping rhythms and we’ll have a blast jamming together!”

For each of the five jazz standard progression jam tracks, Frank will show you a handful of licks and comping approaches that you can use over the tracks as you trade solos with Frank. Then, you'll take turns applying those ideas, trading solos and comping for each other.

Frank will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the key examples and performances. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tool to sync the tab and notation to the video and can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
